Console
Glossary of Terms
• Idle mode = Console is reset and waiting for an entry. The message display
window will flash a message of “Select a program”.
• LED = The lights on the face of the console.
• Watts = The rate of energy currently being expended.
• Work = The amount of energy expended during exercise.
• Intensity level = The resistance provided by this elliptical. The resistance
gradually increases as the level goes up.
Default values
• Age = 35 years
• Weight = 155 lb or 70kg for Metric system
• Time = 30 minutes; Segment time = 30/14 minutes.
• Intensity level: Level 1.
• Target HR = 120bpm
Intensity Level Definition
The intensity level (L) is controlled by the brake resistance wattage output (R). There
are totally 20 levels of resistance.
• For Quick Start and Manual program, the intensity level = Resistance level,
L1 = R1 and L20 = R20.
• For all other programs, the intensity level
≠
Resistance level, see below charts
for details.

How to Wear Your Sensor/ Transmitter
1. Buckle one end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
2. Adjust the band length so that the fit is snug, but not too tight.
3. Buckle the other end of the chest strap onto the transmitter.
4. Center the transmitter on your chest below the pectoral muscle (breasts).
5. Stretch the transmitter away from your chest and moisten the conductive electrode
strips located next to the buckles with water.
(Note: The transmitter is on automatically when being worn. It is off when it is not con-
nected to your body. However, as moisture may activate the transmitter, thoroughly dry
the transmitter to prolong battery life.)
Erratic Heart Rate Readings:
Erratic readings on the receiver can be caused by electromagnetic disturbances. If the
heart rate readings appear to be abnormal, check that your 1180Er product is not
within range of other strong electromagnetic signals. Common sources are televisions,
computers, cars, cell phones, TV antennas and high voltage power lines (both above
and below ground). Please note: Static electricity in clothing or a flapping shirt can
cause electrical interference, so some items of clothing, i.e. man-made fibers, can also
be the cause. Please try wetting the t-shirt in the area where the transmitter is.
If the battery of the transmitter is running low, the transmission range decreases and
may cause errors similar to the ones listed above in this document
Battery Replacement:
To replace the transmitter battery, remove the four small screws securing the cover plate
in the back of the transmitter. Remove the cover plate, and the thin plastic shield cov-
ering the battery, Remove the battery and replace with a new CR 2032 battery (avail-
able at photo or watch departments). Make sure the battery snaps into place and the
numbers are facing up. Replace the plastic shield and cover plate with four screws.
